Grilled Pineapple and Jalapeño Margarita

I made this grilled pineapple and jalapeÃ±o margarita with the limited edition of Jose Cuervo Silver Tequila, launched last fall to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the iconic Cuervo Classic Surf Competition in California. The bottle was a gift from Jose Cuervo Tequila. The recipe is mine.

Ladies and gentlemen this margarita is heaven in a glass. I made it attending the invite by my dear Kate Ramos, from Hola JalapeÃ±o! Every year, Kate hosts her well-known Margarita Week. This year Iâm part of the roster of food bloggers, turned into modern alchemists in anticipation for this coming Cinco de Mayo.

Those who follow this blog know that Iâm a rum girl. Rum is a natural choice for somebody born and raised in a country âVenezuelaâ known for ageing the best rums in the world. Tequila, on the other hand, is something relatively new for me. However, who can resist such a fun invite and the opportunity to create a heavenly delicious margarita?

So, here I go, grilling pineapple just because I love how the fruit caramelizesâ¦ Slicing jalapeÃ±os because you know this all about Mexico and Cinco de Mayoâ¦ Mixing and shaking because life is too short not to have fun in the journey!

In spite of the sweetness of the fruit, I added some agave nectar; but skipped the orange liquor (usually triple sec, Grand Marnier or Cointreau).

How to make grilled pineapple and jalapeÃ±o margarita

This is a complex well-balanced drink. First you have the sweetness of the caramelized pineapple. Then, the spicy notes of the jalapeÃ±o pepper pop in your palate. They both perfectly compliment the smoky flavor of the silver tequila that prevails in a smooth aftertaste.

I am with you that Rum is more my style when it comes to drinks. Although the occasional Margarita is good. And yes, adding that little touch with the jalapeno here . . . delicious! I can’t wait to try it out.

Oooo! Sweet and spicy! To be honest, I really don’t know what to think of this drink. The pineapple and lime juice say yes, but the jalapeno tells me, “You’re going to love this, but I’m going to punish you for it by setting your taste buds on fire.”

I’m really bad when it comes to drinks: I don’t take soda and plain water doesn’t appeal to my taste so I’m always going for flavored water. But I would love the cocktail drink here: the taste of pineapple is always good.

Ooh la la!! I am planning to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with my daughter this weekend and I was trying to find mint leaves to make virgin Mojitos but alas there wasn’t any available. This grilled pineapple and jalapeno margarita look like a great replacement but they did not have any jalapenos available.

This seems like such a fun drink to have for a summer bbq or girls night. I am very interested in how the spice will add to the taste as well.

I would never think of adding a hot pepper in a cocktail with tequila. I suppose pineapple and lemon balance the taste. I will try it. I suppose it will be an explosion of taste.

Never would I think of putting peppers in a drink until now. Sounds amazing.

This is so timely! I just had a meeting with a client today and we were talking about drink options for her group and she was asking me about pineapple and jalapeno margaritas. I had never tried one before but now I’m going to have to give it a try!

Mega delicious. I’m saving this margarita on my Pinterest for the next weekend!
